Three or four days later, Li Shen finally arrived in Lanzhou and reunited with the previous team, but now only some of them are still alive.

Li Shen immediately called the steward to inquire about the situation.

"I see His Highness Prince Ji." The steward was very excited, finally meeting Prince Ji. He had been following Wang Hongfu for some years, but he had only watched Prince Ji from a distance.

"Well, are you the manager here?" Li Shen nodded and asked.

"Back to your lord, my name is Liu Su. He is the steward sent here by shopkeeper Wang." Liu Su replied.

"Tell me about the situation. How many people are left here?" Li Shen asked.

"Prince Qi, there are still 13,000 people who have not left yet. They should be able to finish their departure in the next few days.

About 5,000 people can pass through every day. "Liu Su reported back.

Li Shen nodded and continued to ask:

"Is there anyone making trouble?" This is what Li Shen is most concerned about.

"Back to the prince, there were some small frictions, but they were all small-scale weapon fights between individuals or a dozen people.

They were all suppressed by officers and soldiers. They were also punished. "

It's impossible for so many people to be together without friction. As long as it's not a large-scale situation, Li Shen won't worry.

To put it bluntly, it doesn’t matter how many people die.

"Well, you go down and make arrangements for the five thousand people I brought, so that they can adapt here for ten days and eight days before heading to Chiling."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Su accepted the order.

Li Shen was not idle either. Taking advantage of the time to set up camp, Li Shen led his servants and guards into Lanzhou City.

Li Shen was exhausted from marching for so many days. He wanted to take a good stroll, so he specially brought a cart full of copper coins.

Just when Li Shen was making purchases, Tieniu came over.

"Your Majesty, a group of people are coming towards us."

"Huh?" Li Shen looked up in confusion, but saw nothing, so he asked:

"Did you tell me who he was?"

"Wearing casual clothes, they look like about seventeen or eight people. There are also guards with swords inside." Tieniu replied.

"Seventeen or eight people?" Li Shen was relieved to hear that this was the number of people.

He has a hundred people, not counting the sharp blades in the dark.

Soon Li Shen saw a group of people approaching, but they were quickly stopped by the guards.

Li Shen glanced twice and felt that the person in front looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

At this time, the guard also ran over and reported:

"Your Majesty, the man said he was the governor of Lanzhou and came here specially to pay homage to your Majesty. Do you want to let me go? I've seen the token."

"Well, let him come over." Li Shen nodded.

The guard ran over and said a few words. The leader waved and then walked over with five or six people. The others were probably guards, so they didn't let them over.

As the leader got closer, Li Shen felt more and more that he had seen this person somewhere.

When this man walked up to Li Shen, he bowed deeply to Li Shen and said:

"Your Majesty, Lanzhou Governor Wei Beiji is leading the officials of Lanzhou Prefecture to meet with His Highness Prince Ji."

"See His Highness Prince Ji."

"Wei is asking for a price?" Li Shen was stunned. I wonder, isn't this Wei Ting's son? He and Li Shen had a relationship because of Wei Ting's incident.

However, at that time, this boy was arrogant and somewhat unconvinced with Li Shen, but now he seems to be much more stable.

"It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Ji forgets things a lot. Because of my father's affairs, my uncle and I went to Prince Ji's Mansion." Seeing Li Shen's expression, Wei Baiji thought Li Shen had forgotten him.

"Oh, I know that you are Wei Beipai, the eldest son of Wei Ting. I am just curious as to why you are here."

In fact, Li Shen really wants to ask you how it is possible for you to be promoted to the governor of a state when you are only in your thirties.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, there are many people here, why not invite us to the governor's office, I will explain in detail." Wei Baiji said.

Li Shen looked around and saw that there were indeed too many people here. The governor of a state was groveling here, and the people must be watching curiously.

So Li Shen nodded,

"Let's go then. I happen to have something to tell you, the governor."

Wei Baiqi led the way, accompanied Li Shen to the Governor's Mansion, and invited Li Shen to have tea at the back house.

Of course Li Shen, a confused person, didn't understand what it meant, but Wang Xuance, who was following him, explained to Li Shen in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, Wei Daiji invited you to the back house, it should be for other officials to see, so that they would think that you are related to Wei Daiji, and he wants to take advantage of the prince's influence."

Li Shen was stunned, what about this winding road? However, after thinking about it, Li Shen followed Wei Daiji into the back house.

This made other Lanzhou officials see something more in their eyes, and they all followed him in.

When he came to the living room, Wei asked Li Shen to sit down, and then ordered his servants to make tea for everyone. Li Shen sat at the front seat, with Tieniu and Wang Xuance standing behind him on the left and right.

"Chief Wei, I wonder when you came here?" Li Shen asked after sitting down.

His question made others confused. Since they entered the back house, the relationship must be unusual. They all knew that King Ji's mother was from the Wei family.

"Back to the prince, I haven't been here for long. After my father's accident, I followed the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo.

He fought bloody battles there in order to make great achievements, but was hit by an arrow in the leg. I originally planned to conceal the matter and continue to stay in the army.

However, he was discovered by his father-in-law in the end and reported it to His Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness did not want to see me die in battle, so he asked me to retreat to the rear with other wounded soldiers to recuperate.

After the Eastern Expedition, I was grateful to His Highness the Crown Prince for his appreciation and recommended me to the official position in front of His Majesty. Your Majesty then ordered me to come to Lanzhou and become the governor of Lanzhou. "

Wei Baiqi told Li Shen in detail how he came to Lanzhou, and also solved Li Shen's doubts.

Li Shen was disdainful in his heart. Shit, it must be a trick played by your father-in-law to show that you are desperate for your own safety.

However, Li Shen had a smile on his face and said:

"Chief Wei is indeed brave, and he is truly a loyal minister and good general of our Tang Dynasty."

"I don't dare to take it seriously. Your Highness, Prince Ji, is being ridiculous." Wei Daiji said humbly.

At this time, the tea was ready, and a beautiful woman came in with her servants.

"I have met His Highness Prince Ji." The beautiful woman saluted.

Li Shen quickly stood up and returned the gift.

"I've met my cousin." This person is Wei Bai's wife, Li Shi, the daughter of Li Daozong.

Everyone else also stood up and saluted Mr. Li:

"I've met the county prince."

Li personally came to Li Shen and brought a cup of tea to Li Shen. Li Shen took it and put it on the table, and then asked:

"Cousin, are you still used to coming here?"

Li Shen met Li when he gave gifts to Li Daozong when he was a child.

"Thank you for your concern, King Ji. I'm used to it." Mrs. Li replied.

"That's good. Uncle Wang has been fighting for me, Li Tang, for many years and dedicated his life. If my cousin needs anything, just tell me."

"Thank you very much, Prince Ji. My husband and I are here. I just hope that everything goes well for my husband here, that he can serve the court well and that his Majesty's trust is not in vain."

Li was very talkative and didn't make any requests, but she seemed to have made requests. I just hope that Wei Bai's success here is the requirement.

When Li Shen came in, he was already ready to take advantage of Wei Daizi's situation, whether it was for his mother or for Li Daozong.

It's just a little effort, please help if you can.
